F1Each Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") represents the right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock. The RSU vests in four installments of 1,250 shares each on the last day of each of the issuer's first, second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2015 provided the recipient continues to serve as a director of the issuer.
F2The Restricted Stock Unit may be settled solely in cash ("Cash-Settled RSU"). Each Cash-Settled RSU is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock of the issuer. The Cash-Settled RSU vests only upon a change-in-control of the issuer that occurs during the period beginning on the first day of the issuer's second quarter of fiscal year 2015 (April 5, 2015) and ending on the last day of the issuer's first quarter of fiscal year 2020 (March 28, 2020). The Cash-Settled RSU is forfeited in the event the recipient ceases to be a director of the issuer for any reason other than a change in control prior to the RSU vesting date.
